I'm surprised you haven't seen it until now. It's one of the classics and with good reason. Hm, I should watch it again some time.

I surprised too, but then again, I haven't exactly seen many of the classics like Ranma 1/2, Slayers, Sailor Moon (le gasp), nor Escaflowne (and I just have the movie, gasp). So I'm not that surprised it's taken me so long to see it. For some years, I've been pretty picky about the anime I watch, and even then, prior to me-college years, the only other way for me to watch anime was what was being shown on Saturday/Sunday morning cartoons (Kids WB/4KIDS) or anything by Studio Ghibli. Worse is I don't have cable, and even then I hardly watch TV anymore. Mom has been pretty strict about anime, that was another reason.

Of course, now that I'm an adult, she doesn't really care what I watch now, since she does trust me around anime and manga more than my brothers. Like I bought DragonBall Z seasons (because I know she wouldn't be thrilled with DragonBall), and though she doesn't watch it, she hasn't really spoken out about it. Dad's been slightly more lenient. I had my door wide open, so my dad walked into my room while I was watching FLCL, and it was during the scene where a robot was slowly popping out of Naota's head, and he wondered what I was watching. I didn't know how to answer, so I just said, "Something really weird," and left it be. He didn't question it any further. Mom probably would've stood there with a weird look on her face, but I think she would've left and not question it either. I dunno. My grandparents don't seem to care either, and I leave my door open almost all the time with my volume pretty high.

/tl;dr

So I guess timing was crucial for me. I was bored last night, so I figured I might as well start on a new anime, and I chose Cowboy Bebop. I found a YouTube channel that has a playlist along with a few other anime shows like Trigun and Outlaw Star, so I may watch those right after. Who knows. Though I think I'd like a good list of the classics, it seems to vary from person to person I've noticed.

Still flipping amazing. I really don't want to stop watching, but alas, I have to go to class here soon. At least I'll get right to watching it as soon as I get home. I'm not going anywhere tonight, so I'll be able to jump right back in and watch until I drop. I'm halfway done, after all, though looks like I'll watch the movie right after episode 22. From the way things are going, I may end up watching it first thing tomorrow. Which is fine by me.

If you're fine with streaming or downloading it, you can watch the K-On Movie dubbed right now. People who preorder the movie got it early so someone's already uploaded it.

I've already talked about it, but I'll give my thoughts again for those who missed it. It's actually a really good dub. Way better than the show's dub. It's got some minor translation issues but it's still worth watching at least once if you're willing to do so. Especially for Little Kuriboh's role.

I demand less student council bull and more drunk Izumiko from RDG! What's that? It's going to get even more confusing? Damn...

I feel like if I actually payed attention and learned the characters names the show might be more entertaining. But it's proven difficult to not let my mind wander when watching this show. Oh well, it's still pretty.

So I finally caught up with Attack on Titan. I expected crazy plot twists but that was just insane. Most people here are already watching it, but since I don't want to spoil it let's just say that it makes the mid series plot twists in Gurren Lagann and Death Note seem safe

Not even Cowboy Bebop :O? (Though yeah, the OP of Angel Beats is really good. The full version is beautiful.)

Speaking of which...

Cowboy Bebop - 22/26
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Still an amazing, beautiful series, continues to blow my mind. Even the movie was really good, it was different than what I expected. For sure once I'm done, I'd like to add this to my collection. I wonder if my dad would like this.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! is going from strength to strength. It doesn't seem to matter how much an episode advances the plot, because it always manages to be entertaining.

100% of information in signatures on this forum involving percentages is false. If you feel as cheated by this atrocity as I do, don't you dare copy this into your signature.
Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

Caught up with the manga or the anime?

Just finished Tamako Market. I'm an avid defender of KyoAni and a huge K-On fan but Tamako Market was just bad. Easily the worst thing that has ever come out of KyoAni. If K-On is a moe masterpiece, Tamako is a moe mess. 4/10

Planning to marathon Berserk tonight. Apparently the ending is terrible so I'll be looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.

I really like watching a good old anime but it's rare for me to find one that stands the passage of time. Bebop is a timeless classic but Evangelion hasn't aged very well at all even if its impact still lingers. People say you should judge a show in the context of when it came out but I refuse to ignore writing flaws because of such a stupid reason. If it doesn't stay relevant, the writer has failed.

So why am I saying this? Well, it's because Berserk is nothing like that. Its animation is severely dated but at this point its plot and characters stand head and shoulders above even the best of what's currently airing. Hopefully I don't fall asleep while marathoning this. It's amazing stuff
